Alternative High-Beam Connection ?

Okay, Hella makes a solid state relay.

I can't find info on milliamps required to activate it though. If its low enough, could you use one of these, triggered by the high beam to then activate other relays? That way if you want to trigger 3 or 4 relays their milliamps wouldn't compound and overload the high beam BCM circuit.

 

Of all the possible ways to use a factory circuit to activate an aftermarket component, a solid state relay would be the safest.

 

Come on brother let’s do this right. Use some high quality mono filament between the upfitter and the stalk.

 

I tried that first.

But it would not stay stuck to the duck tape.

 

Outstanding !

Thank you very much for your assists with this.

 

Let us know if you try this.

 

I may want to put my S8 on the high beams as well. Just seems to make sense if possible. Curious to know if utilizing this type of relay off a factory circuit will be fine.

 

Only time will tell.
